Target, Home Depot fire Paula Deen, will phase out products

Georgia – The list of corporate sponsors who are turning their back on television chefPaula Deen continues to grow. As reported by ABC News Blogs, Target and the Home Depot are among the list of retailers who are severing ties with the star after her admitting to using racial slurs.

A spokesperson for Target is quoted in the report as stating to ABC News Radio, “We have made a decision to phase out the Paula Deen merchandise in our stores as well as on Target.com. Once the merchandise is sold out, we will not be replenishing inventory.”

The Food Network, with whom Deen has had a relationship with for over a decade also announced last week that it would not be renewing a contract with her.
